[GNSO-RPM-WG] Comment deadline 4/27 - question

[Paul Tattersfield]

Hi Kathy,

I’m not sure extending the comment period will help much. Does anyone
really expect the majority of people to wade through pages of Google forms
to express an opinion?

I was going to comment on a couple of matters, including making sure IGOs
have access to the TMCH but even though I have a reasonable working
knowledge of the report I felt on balance it was too much of a time sink to
comment substantively.

I did try to read the other comment submitted (which now seems to have
disappeared) but I couldn’t even access any of the longer fields to read
all the text. Also I didn’t have the time to waste looking up what each
answer was in response to as the Google form only has recommendations and
question numbers so I needed to cross reference everything.

All in all, pretty abysmal to be honest.

I am curious though if it is someone trying to over engineer comment
periods or whether perhaps it’s more serious such as systemic bias leading
to complete distain for any input that might be contrary to a predetermined
outcome?

Best regards,


Paul
